Clinical characteristics of acromegalic patients with paradoxical growth hormone response to oral glucose load.

Conclusions: Paradoxical GH response reflected the clinical characteristics, especially IGF-I levels, glucose metabolism and drug efficacy in acromegaly. Paradoxical GH response, in addition to the nadir GH levels, to OG load can be potentially useful for evaluation of the clinical characteristics of acromegaly.
